In this episode of Podcasting Success Secrets, Hector Santiesteban is joined by David Sais of KaSa Media Pros. They delve into various aspects of podcasting, offering valuable insights. One key idea they discuss is the importance of letting your podcast breathe and leaving in natural sounds, such as breaths, to create engaging content. They also address the risks of speaking too quickly, as it can leave listeners feeling breathless. Building a strong foundation for a professional-sounding podcast is another key topic, which involves investing in quality equipment and editing software. They also emphasize the significance of preserving the authenticity and life of your story by not removing natural sounds like "ums" and "ahs."
